Iker Casillas criticised himself to support Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius after a torrid start to pre-season. He posted a video compilation of his own errors on Twitter to echo that everyone makes mistakes.
"Behind each one of us, there is one person." he said. "Let him raise his hand who has not ever failed. Learning from our mistakes will make us stronger and accept them more human."
It was a touch of class from the former Real Madrid goalkeeper, but another Los Blancos player has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons, this morning.

The 2010 World Cup winners were tipped by many to go all the way. But, days prior to kicking-off their Russian adventure, crisis hit the Spanish camp.
